100 Blessings a Day Rabbi John Franken

self-awareness, and self-care. The PEER program consisted of online courses in leadership and visioning, monthly coaching sessions, and two in-person seminars. It taught its 19 rabbinic fellows how to improve decision making systems, manage change and conflict, develop volunteers, exercise leadership, understand followership, and communicate more effectively. In many aspects of our congregation’s life, we are already seeing benefits of the STAR experience. I am proud of my participation in that experience. It heightened my self-awareness, helped me to broaden my leadership skills, and sharpened my vision for our community. Unlike PEER, which focuses on rabbis as leaders of complex organizations, the Shalom Hartman Institute has as its focus rabbis’ needs for spiritual and intellectual nourishment. For nine days, rabbis from around the world would come together for intense study, debate and exchanging of ideas. But the range of topics one encounters and the informal learning with colleagues from around the U.S. makes it much more than an academic exercise. Through formal and informal interactions alike, I was able to broaden my knowledge, challenge my understanding, and bring back many fresh ideas and knowledge to our community. Our tradition teaches that the wise person learns from others and that the well-being of the community depends on strong leadership and a clear vision. To all who uphold and model those values, you are helping to secure a strong and vibrant future for our congregation and for that you have my enduring appreciation and thanks. May you be inscribed for a good and a sweet year. Shana tova!

100 Blessings a Day My rabbinate has two faces, one public and one private. The public face reveals itself in such contexts as Tidings columns, sermons, divrei Torah, baby blessings, weddings, b’nai mitzvah, funerals, counseling sessions, home and hospital visits, lectures and classes. It also shows itself when we sit alongside one another, as perhaps you and I did in the last year, to craft a mission statement, green our building, revise our bylaws, plan our new building addition, design our new preschool, map a leadership development program, or explore ways to expand our revenue base and grow our membership. These are some of the many dimensions of the public face of my rabbinate. Then there is the private face, or the “back story.” This is the time I set aside to think, to learn and to grow. Every single day of the rabbinate brings blessings, especially the blessing of being part of so many wonderful people’s lives in so many wonderful ways. But being a rabbi requires intellectual, spiritual, and emotional oxygen. Time spent in personal growth, learning, skill-building, and self-care is essential to rabbinic wholeness. This past summer I spent some important “back story” time replenishing my energy, building my skills, expanding my knowledge, and reflecting on my vision. To do so, I attended the Shalom Hartman Institute for advanced Jewish learning in Jerusalem and participated in the STAR (Synagogue Transformation and Renewal) PEER (Professional Excellence in Rabbis) program. The STAR PEER fellowship was an incredible gift to both our congregation and me. Funded by the Schusterman Foundation, the PEER fellowship provided 19 rabbis (myself among them) a comprehensive ten-month experience aimed a fostering growth in executive leadership, visioning,

Progressive in attitude yet traditional in practice, Temple Ohabei Shalom is an inclusive Reform Jewish community committed to nurturing, sustaining, and touching Jewish lives through joyful worship, life

long-learning, and repair of the world in word and deed.

High Holy Days

President’s Message Dear Congregants: It is with great enthusiasm that I announce an exciting new policy that will be implemented for the upcoming High Holy Days. In an effort to fill our beautiful Sanctuary and give potential members the opportunity to observe our services, we encourage you to invite your friends and family to this year’s High Holiday Services at no cost – that is correct – NO COST. In these difficult economic times, this is our way of saying thank you for your support, while at the same time helping to create more community participation and interest in Temple Ohabei Shalom. Our clergy and Board have enthusiastically embraced this idea as I am sure you will as well. In fact, we would like to use these holidays and services in lieu of our traditional open house for prospective members and as a source of a new infusion of supporters. We need your help: think about your neighbors, colleagues, friends, and family who just might appreciate coming to our services – and please invite them! In order to participate, a downloadable registration form is set up on our website at www.ohabei.org and is also printed in this Tidings. Thank you for making this program successful and if you have any questions about the process, please contact Steven Davis, Executive Director, at 617-277-6610 x22. L’shanah Tovah Jesse Cochin

N’shamah. Nefesh. Ruach. Soul. Spirit. Living Breath.

Cantor Randall Schloss

S’lichot “Who Shall Live…?” by Jeff Bernhardt

Saturday, September 12 7:00pm Reception, Lissner Hall 8:00pm Program, Montague Chapel 9:00pm Service, Montague Chapel

Join Rabbi Franken and Cantor Schloss for an evening of exploration of the relationships and issues between human beings and God, in memory of Janet R. and Sidney T. Small. RSVP to 617-277-6610.

I was able to leave Brookline twice this summer for two very different, but equally invigorating, Jewish experiences. The first was a trip to Chicago for the annual American Conference of Cantors convention. I had never been to Chicago before: although I didn’t get the chance to explore extensively, it is a beautiful and vibrant city. The convention schedule is filled with workshops, seminars, concerts, and business meetings: the stuff of the cantorate. Although the convention ran from Sunday through Thursday (cantors serving congregations are not always available on Shabbat!), worship was also a central element. We participated in services morning and evening, before and after the day’s other programs. The worship services were also instructional: each was thematic in a different way. One morning there was a jazz service. Another featured significant congregational input in an improvisational way (e.g. during the morning blessings, we were invited to add, out loud, our own daily miracles). However there was one common theme amongst almost all of the services (and many of the concerts and workshops as well): N’shamah. Nefesh. Ruach. Soul. Spirit. Living Breath. These cantors - clergy, professional service leaders - were excited to be together in a Jewish environment. We were excited to share music, prayer, ideas and concerns. We lead services all the time, and yet not always this way as a member of our own community. In Chicago, we had the opportunity to be members of congregation Beth Israel - Ohabei Shirah: House of Israel, Lovers of Song. In August, I took a second trip out of town with my family to Camp Micah in Maine. Camp Micah has an idyllic setting: on a slope, overlooking a lake with a backdrop of forested hills. My kids had a wonderful time, particularly enjoying the company of many of our staff and congregants who either work at Camp Micah or attend as campers, and participating in myriad activities: boating, swimming, climbing, dancing, etc. The campers all seem to love it as well, happily running, yelling, laughing, and singing from one activity to the next. But then Friday evening came. In the center of the slope, overlooking the lake, is Micah’s outdoor chapel. The campers and staff, adults and children of all ages gathered together, all wearing white shirts, to welcome Shabbat. I led services with counselors, campers, and staff members (Shari Churwin, Kate Mikesh and David Sumberg among others). Together we truly celebrated Shabbat. We sang, danced, talked, laughed as the kids had done throughout the week, but now it was evident that this was a Jewish camp. The central activity and highlight of the week was this Shabbat service. Rather than serve as a break from the rest of the week, I got the impression that the joy and spirit exhibited throughout the week was derived from this Shabbat celebration. This year, at Ohabei Shalom, we strive to create these kinds of experiences for our entire congregation. Our services will often

feature lively, festive music with greater congregational participation in our musical ensembles. Our Ansin Religious School programs and adult education programs will have a stronger connection to Shabbat as well as we strive to create and sustain the kinds of experiences described above: N’shamah. Nefesh. Ruach. Soul. Spirit. Living

Ansin Religious School Shari Churwin Director of Education

The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world. Abraham Joshua Heshel

It is difficult to believe that the Ansin Religious School (ARS) is going to begin its 15th year in September. We have many things to be proud of as the ARS is truly a dynamic and innovative institution. We pride ourselves on being on the cutting edge and are constantly striving to “break the mold” of a traditional Jewish education. This year will be a new beginning for us on many fronts -- we now have beautifully refurbished classrooms and our brand new Trust Center for Early Education will open soon. We are also launching several new programs and initiatives along with our new curriculum and schedule, ARS 2.0, all of which are tailored to meet the changing needs of our modern students and families. Last spring, the Avi Chai foundation released a report entitled “Schools That Work: What We Can Learn from Good Jewish Supplementary Schools.” This study confirms that weekly religious school education can be successful. Perhaps more importantly, the study identifies the elements that help define "success" in schools, offering suggestions for replicating the excellence that the research team found. The study presents six "noteworthy characteristics of good schools." Good schools (1) work on building friendships and community, (2) go beyond teaching facts to allow students to work on meaning, (3) use experiential education, (4) actualize a clear vision, (5) value themselves and their students, and (6) involve not only students but their families. Our new school model embraces these elements and brings us closer to achieving our goal of reinvigorating our school by aligning it with the traditional cycle of Jewish worship, allowing students and families to study and worship together. Our clergy, staff, and lay leadership all agree that our new approach will help to keep our Judaism in motion and nourish the whole Temple Ohabei Shalom community. I invite you to join us as we celebrate the beginning of a new school year and inaugurate our new Shabbat School on Saturday, September 12, 9:30 am. Join us for a family Shabbat experience, a tour of our newly renovated classrooms and a congregational Kiddush in our newly refurbished social hall. Shabbat morning is the perfect time for us to gather as a community to celebrate the year to come. It is of utmost importance to me to work collaboratively with you to bring about the exciting changes coming in the new year. We are

aware that this may be a difficult transition year for some families. Please call or email me in the school office (617-739-9200, schurwin@ohabei.org) if you would like to discuss any aspect of this new program. We are deeply committed to keeping our school the warm, nurturing, wonderful experience it has always been. I am confident that the new programs, initiatives and schedule for the coming year will move us closer to our vision of being a fountain of living and joyful Judaism. L’shanah Tovah Shari A.

Please add to your calendar Thursday, October 15th at 6:30 pm, when John Shalett, newly elected North American President of Men of Reform Judaism (MRJ), will preside over the installation activities and bring greetings from the MRJ National Board.

On Sunday, September 13th at 11:30 a.m., our book club will discuss Six of One. It is “a rousing tale of two sisters told by Rita Mae Brown in her unapologetic, eccentric Southern style. She introduces us to Julia & Louise Hunsenmeir, fondly known as Juts & Wheezie, an indomitable pair of quarreling sisters born around the turn-of-the-century in Runnymede, MD. Spanning almost a century, we watch the mad cap life of Juts and Wheezie.” If this whets your appetite, please read the book, and come prepared to join in our discussion. Our wonderful Sisterhood community will welcome new members, as well as our long-time devoted, to an opening Dessert & Coffee. Featured guest speaker will be Karen Glansberg, our director of TOS’ new early childhood center. Our own Estelle Katz will provide the musical entertainment as only she can. An opportunity to make new friends, enjoy interesting activities while helping Ohabei Shalom and the greater Jewish community, is Sisterhood at its best! Please join us on Monday, September 14th at 7 p.m. Sisterhood is a life-changing experience. Sunday, October 25th at 3 p.m., pianist Julie Boris along with Cantor and Leah Schloss, as well as David Sparr, will perform an outstanding concert. Look for more infomation in the October Tidings.
